This one is tricky. Well written, sounds promising and has an apparently “real” email address.

It’s a scam.

it does not have your name in it. Think about it, it is claiming to have found you via an online CV firm. It does NOT know your name. Or your background (eg – your background in art and literature leads me to believe) etc…

it is using a GMail address, name sounds genuine, but does a real firm use a Gmail address as official correspondance. Of course not.

Any further doubts? Check scamwarners. Esp the part about how *you* will become a victim. I was surprised that Google did not send it straight to Spam hell, it is usually quite good.

and of course the money. Too easy for too much money? Don’t believe them, have you checked job offers in the UK recently, even in London you can find jobs @ sub 20K GBP/year. Of course this is a pile of manure.
